Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

tl;dr: maybe if our abstraction is no longer relevant we need a new abstraction
Didn't watch whole thing. Saving to watch later but when it comes to this type of thing, I always wonder where to draw the line between "you should know" and "irrelevant to most people". I like unix and plan9 so knowing how the filesystem works matters a lot to me. I also think diskless systems and immutable os are cool and a lot of people just use computers for browsing the web.
if most of the files you care about are photos, do you need to care how the fs works? what about the difference between ext4, fat32, gefs? to me both are pretty important but i don't expect most to care
EDIT: I appreciate this all being articulated. i may have phrased too imprecisely in that I was not trying to argue that this necessarily shouldn't be taught as much as much as wanting a discussion of where the line is between something people need to know and something i care about.
Whether it has impact on direct usage or is important to fixing it. I concede the line is blurry but with this I often refer back to cars, not that it fares much better there, you should know whether the car you're driving is FWD or RWD (or AWD) because it has direct impact on you driving it. Not necessarily in the boring cruising on the freeway time, but when it counts.
